Mame:
Light the candles
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
It's today
Though it may not be anyone's birthday
And though it's far from the first of the year
I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here!

All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay

Mame:
Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Strike the band up
It's today!

All:
And we're living
In the world game
So this whole game's
What we make

Mame:
Call the cops out
Raise the rockets
Pull the stops out

All:
Pull out the stops
It's today
Light the candles
Fill the punch bowl
Throw confetti
It's today

Girls:
Life can also be lived on a weekday
So don't depend on a holiday date
If you need New Year's to bubble
Then order a double and wait
Doo doo doo doo dah

All:
There's a "thank you" you can give life
If you live life all the way
Pull the stops out
Hold the roof down

Mame:
Fellows watch out
It's today

All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay
Tune the grand up
Call the cops out
Strike the band up
Pull the stops out
Hallelujah!
It's today!



Reprise:


Mame:
Light the sparklers
Crash the cymbals
Blow the bugle
It's today
Someone gave me a wonderful present
Something I needed and yet never knew
So start to whistling and clapping
'Cause under the wrapping was you!

All:
And we'll give life
Quite a tumble
And we'll live life
All the way
Call the cops out
Raise the rocket
Pull the stops out
It's today!
